Hello All,
I got the program to work.. Thank you all.
Most of you were right when you said I had to use firstName[0] always. That
was causing the out of bounds issue.
Working Code:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class ArrayHomeProject {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
String name[] = new String[3];
// String firstName[] = new String[6];
String max = "";
for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
name[i] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter threee names"+i);
}
for (int j=0;j<3;j++)
{
String firstName[] = name[j].split(" ");
if((j==0)||(max.length()<firstName[0].length()))
{
max = firstName[0];
}
}
System.out.println("The longest first name is "+max);
}
}
Thanks,
Sudhir
